With their iridescent blues and stylish crests, the Blue Jay and the Steller's Jay are two of the most stunning birds of North America. Together, they form the genus Cyanocitta, and because they sometimes interbreed, their status as distinct species has been contested. While the Steller's jay inhabits the mountain chain system along the Pacific coast, the blue jay is spread through southern Canada and most of the eastern and central United States. They feed on a variety of seeds, nuts, berries, fruits, and occasionally prey on small animals. When the time comes for a female to find a mate, she will gather a dozen males and have them compete to keep up with her flying around all day, until only one remains. The two then bond for life.

After getting its hair did and putting on lipstick, the Great Blue Turaco looks ready to go out for an evening of fine dining. For this bird, this translates to foraging in small groups for flowers, fruits, and leaves. Recent studies revealed that it is more closely related to go-away-birds and plantain-eaters than it is to other species of turacos, though they are all part of the same family of gregarious, non-migratory birds endemic to Africa. This particular species is widespread throughout the African tropical rainforest, and at 30 inches in length, it is the largest species of turaco.

War da nicht ein Kopf?
Heute fiel mir ein dass ich doch mal wieder gucken könnte ob der "Adler" schon wieder da ist und auch dieses Jahr brĂŒtet. #Fischadler #Osprey
Fast alles ist jetzt schneefrei also habe ich mir die Kamera geschnappt und bin mal wieder quer durch den Wald zu dem mir bekannten Host. Als ich mich vorsichtig nĂ€herte war ich nicht sicher ob da nicht ein Kopf war. Ja doch! TatsĂ€chlich noch ein paar Schritte nĂ€her und schon stieg Er auf weil Sie mich natĂŒrlich schon gesehen hatte. Wie schön dass auch dieses Jahr wieder ein Paar; oder ist es das Selbe? dort brĂŒtet.

A region of suppressed recombination misleads neoavian #phylogenomics https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2319506121

"This section, just 2% of the bird #genome, convinced #scientists that most #birds could be grouped into two major categories, with #flamingos and #doves as evolutionary cousins. The more accurate family tree identifies four main groups and identifies flamingos and doves as more distantly related."

The birds are up early this morning, but now they're silent, or they've flown away from their nests.
The Downtown morning traffic has started.

In this hanging scroll birds rest and frolic among pines, bamboo, and flowering plum, plants known as “the three friends.” Due to their endurance in winter, they symbolize perseverance and friendship in adverse times.

Happy Good Friday/Easter!

I apologize I've not found (m)any new photos to post recently, as I've been repairing my camera, lens & self. But...
here's a souvenir from my last visit to a favorite Old Cypress swamp.

And... I've planned a trip to a new spot for me, one of the world's biggest swamps, and the furthest South in the U.S. By car, boat, and foot, hopefully some new things soon (April). Happy Holidays (and spring!)
